OOC: '''The Juskalur are all the Juska tribes combined, right? So, since the largest Juska tribe numbered 300 in The Taggerung, and all the other Juska tribes numbered about 50-100, and there must have been at least five Juska tribes besides Sawney's and Ruggan Bor's. So that makes, at an average of 80 beasts to a clan, and five clans.. .400. Plus Rath's and Bor's, that makes around 750 Juska. And it's been at least a hundred seasons since Taggerung if this is past the time of Irgash being under Razzid, and so the Juska could easily number 3,000 - 4,000 beasts at the rates that rats have litters. So Orago Lur must be one mighty Chief indeed, so of course there'd be contenders if it meant you could have such a great and massive army. Of course on the other hand the Juska could have had 750 and grown to a 1000 or something, then have a plague that kills half of them, which might end in the Juska only having 1500 or 2000 at the present time, but still this is a large army at least. About the size of the Rapscallions at the beginning before Gormad Tunn decided to attack Salamandastron. These, if unhindered on the journey there, could take down Redwall easily. The only reason Warfang didn't win was that the Long Patrol knew he was coming to Redwall and so continuously picked off his troops, and then of course he only had a thousand to begin with because Tunn took down the army half its original numbers. Now if Tunn had just avoided Salamandastron and attacked Redwall unexpectedly, like Orago could easily do right now...>8}'''
